TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author), van Noort, M. (author), Godthelp, J. (author)Research and societal questions in the area of mobility are becoming more and more complex, covering many different aspects of the traffic system. Simulation tools are an important aid in the study of such questions. Their complexity requires an integrated mixed reality environment, in which the tools are connected to each other and to external...conference paper 2009

(author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author), DenV (author)The recognizability of roads, the predictability of their course and road user behaviour is an important Sustainable Safety principle. Road users need to know which driving behaviour they are expected to show and what they can expect of other road users. The required driving behaviour and the correct expectations can only be elicited when the...report 2008

van der Horst, R. (author), Martens, M. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)In one way or another, human factors play a role in almost all road accidents. For designing a safe traffic and road environment, it is important to take human capabilities and limitations into account: man asthe measure of all things. This paper briefly summarizes traffic safetyfrom a road users' point ofview,givesa general description...article 2008

Hogema, J.H. (author), TNO Defensie en Veiligheid (author)In a driving simulator study, driver responses to Steer-By-Wire system failures were investigated. Duration and amplitude of the error were varied, as well as the type of error (with/without torque feedback) and the drivers expectancy of error occurrence. Results are analysed in terms of driver input (steering wheel angle), overall driver...conference paper 2007
